Terms and Conditions
Welcome to Turk’s Compass (“we,” “our,” “us”). These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”, last updated 10 October 2026) govern your use of our website, mobile application, and related services (“Platform”). By creating an account, using our services, or continuing to use the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.
If you are under the age of majority in your country, you must have parental or guardian consent.
By using Turk’s Compass, you confirm that you meet these requirements and that you are legally able to enter into this agreement.
2. User Accounts
You must create an account to access certain features, such as applying for jobs, posting business listings, joining events, or contributing to community discussions.
All registration information must be accurate, current, and complete.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
You agree to notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
3. Membership and Payments
Certain features (such as the Job Seeker, Job Seeker Pro and Premium Business memberships) may require paid subscriptions. Current membership fees will be displayed at the time of purchase.
Payments are processed through secure third-party providers.
All fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law.
We may adjust pricing and benefits from time to time with reasonable prior notice.
4. Job Search and Applications
Employers are solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of job postings.
We do not guarantee the availability of any specific position, employer response, interviews, or job offers.
You are responsible for ensuring your resume, profile, and application materials are truthful and up to date.
Any agreements for employment are solely between you and the employer; Turk’s Compass is not a party to such agreements.
4A. Marketplace
The Marketplace lets users list items to sell, give away or rent, and message each other about them. Turk’s Compass only provides the board and the messaging; it is not a party to any sale, rental or exchange between users.
No payment goes through the Platform. The condition, legality, safety and description of an item, and its payment, delivery and return, are solely the responsibility of the buyer and the seller.
We review listings before they are published, but we do not inspect items, verify users, or guarantee any listing, transaction or user, and we are not liable for any loss arising from a transaction between users.
You can report a listing, rate the other side or file a complaint from the app. We may remove listings and close an account’s access to the Marketplace; we are not obliged to settle disputes between users.
Prohibited, counterfeit, stolen or dangerous items, and items whose sale is restricted by law, may not be listed.
4B. Tanış (Meeting Members)
Tanış lets members of the same country who chose to meet other members see each other’s Tanış profile, say hello and write to each other. It is for friendship and networking, not for dating, selling or advertising.
You must be 18 or older to join. A member may choose to be seen by, and to meet, women only; that choice is respected by the Platform and must be respected by every member.
You can hide your profile, block a member or report one at any time. We may remove a profile or close an account’s access to Tanış when the rules are broken.
Meetings arranged through Tanış take place at your own risk; we are not a party to them and do not verify members.
4C. Business Messaging, Ratings and Comments
You can write to a business from its page and rate it. Ratings and comments must be honest, based on your own experience, and free of insults or personal data of others. A business cannot edit a rating; we may hide a rating or comment that breaks these Terms.
Messages between you and a business are private to the two of you; we may read them to handle a report or an abuse case.
4D. Stamp Cards, QR Menus and Other Business Tools
A business may offer a stamp card (a reward after a number of visits), a QR menu, bookings and a waiting list through the Platform. The business, not Turk’s Compass, decides the terms of its stamp card and is responsible for honouring the reward and for the content of its menu.
Stamps are given at the business, one per visit, and cannot be exchanged for cash.
4E. Giveaways
From time to time we run giveaways in the app. Entry is free and no purchase is necessary. Unless the giveaway’s own rules say otherwise, a giveaway is open to members aged 18 or over living in the country named, excluding Quebec; one entry per account; extra chances may be given for friends who join with your invitation code while the giveaway runs. The winner is drawn at random after the closing date and announced in the app. Prizes have no cash value and cannot be transferred. We may postpone or cancel a giveaway, and we may disqualify an entry made with a fake or duplicate account.
4F. Invitations, Gifts and Badges
We may give free periods of a paid membership (for example when a friend joins with your invitation code, on your account’s anniversary, or as a newcomer’s welcome). A gift is added to the account it was earned on, cannot be exchanged for cash, and may be withdrawn when it was obtained through fake accounts or abuse. A gift that starts as a store free trial is governed by the store’s terms. Badges and activity counts are a thank-you; they carry no monetary value.
4G. Community Stories
When you send us photos, text or links on WhatsApp or Instagram for a community story, you confirm that you own them or have permission to share them, and you grant us the licence in Section 7 to publish them on our accounts, credited as you ask. We may decline or edit a story.
4H. In-App Assistant
The assistant answers questions from the Platform’s own listings and from general sources. Its answers are information, not legal, financial, medical or immigration advice, and may be incomplete or wrong; check anything you rely on.
5. Advertisements and Sponsored Content
The Platform may display advertisements, sponsored listings, or promotional content.
We do not endorse, verify, or guarantee the accuracy of third-party advertisements.
Any interactions with advertisers or third-party services are solely between you and the third party.
6. Events and Community Activities
We may organize or promote in-person and online events, meetups, or informational sessions.
Attendance at events is at your own risk; we are not responsible for personal injury, property damage, or loss resulting from participation.
By attending events, you consent to the possible use of photographs or recordings for promotional purposes unless you opt out in writing beforehand.
7. Community Content and Code of Conduct
Users may share business listings, event announcements, advice, and other community-based content.
You must not post any material that is false, misleading, defamatory, obscene, discriminatory, or unlawful.
We reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts that violate these Terms or applicable laws.

10. Third-Party Services

We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or policies of third-party services.
Your use of third-party services is at your own risk.
11. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, error-free operation, or the accuracy of content.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Turk’s Compass is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Platform.
12. Termination

You may delete your account at any time via your profile settings.
Termination does not affect any rights or obligations that accrued prior to termination.
